1 | SYDNEY OFFICE UPDATE LOCAL HOTSPOT SKITTLE LANE It’s easy to make comparisons between Sydney and Melbourne’s laneway coffee culture, with the latter seemingly always coming out on top, but Skittle Lane, the newly opened cafe at 40 King Street has all the hallmarks of a quality Melbourne cafe, but overlaid with a Sydney ‘lightness’ that’s creating a stir. 40 King Street, Sydney Open weekdays 7am - 4pm skittlelane.com.au Taking it’s name from the laneway next door, Skittle Lane are serving up some of the best coffee in the CBD - their own coffee blend, which is roasted offsite, and also a selection of single origins via espresso, filter and pour-over. The space is minimalist, cool and contemporary, making most of the incredible windows that were originally on site, as well as clever tiered seating and black rimmed glazing. Coffee is the main event here, but there’s also a rotating selection of quick bites like toasties, pastries from Penny Fours, biscuits and breads from Sonoma.
